Hey mate, just to let you know, and to help people understand what you are asking, of you add the curly brackets around the cards you are talking about it will turn them into a link directly to the card

Ok so I'm guessing you ment {pariah's shield}? And someone was attacking with a creature with trample? You also have the shield equipped to the {stuffy doll}

If all of the above is correct. Just let all the damage thru, regardless of trample or not, then all damage dealt to you is dealt to the doll. The doll then deals all the damage dealt to it to your opponent. :)

Oh god!  That means that if both players have a stuffy with a pariah attached, it would be an endless loop of damage redirect!

Hmm good already a thread here. Alright so today i had {Gutter Grime} with 4 counters and 2 Slimes from said Grime. One has a {Greatsword} attached. My oppenent has 1 life. I attack with thr Greatsword slime (7/4) he blocks with {Gaurd Gomazoa}. When he declared it a blocker i flashbacked {Wild Hunger} onto my slime making it a 10/5 trample. Even though the Gaurds ability he still takes 7 correct?

Yes.  He can only prevent the amount of his toughness.

So, with trample - I'm going to use an example. If someone attacks with {Wurmcoil engine} and has ramped it with {kessig wolf run} and I block with a 2/2, can he assign 1 damage to the creature and the rest to me?

Deathtouch and trample are awesome together. With trample, you only need to assign enough damage to destroy the blocker.  In the case of Deathtouch, you only need to assign one point.

Cool, thanks. That's actually really good to know!

Even if the blocker is indestructible, you only need to assign enough damage that would destroy it.

If you use {stuffy doll} on yourself, then the {pariah's shield} it and you or the doll take 1 damage, that's a tie by infinite loop?

Why I ment say u and I was playing and  had stuffy doll and pariah's shield and made all ur creatures attack me and some had trample ull get all the damage

Dude, I know. Now, what I say is, if you target yourself with the doll and equip her with the shield, will that end the game as an infinite loop? Another question, about the same topic

Post by: Joedillard on February 29, 2012, 09:55:08 PM
Another thing u could do is add "spirt loop"

He seems a bit preoccupied Mentonin, so I'm gonna go ahead and say no? I don't think anyone I know, judge or otherwise, would react to that situation in any way except with a raised eyebrow. Maybe a "Really? Knock it off."

Although I suppose you could still try, if you wanted to be a stickler.

Yes. An infinite loop will no possible way to end it results in a draw.
